Dr. Altorti has been my Dr. for almost 18 yrs. he was has performed two major Lung surgeries on me. I have just had my annual CT and had an appt. on Zoom. It was good news. I have had four surgeries at N.Y. Presbyterian and each time I have asked Dr. Altorki's staff to recommend surgeons in the facility.
My other surgeries were also successful.
I have recommended Dr. Altorki to a few people that needed Lung surgery and were very thankful.
